User management and central file storage
The HRZ uses a central Active Directory Domäne (AD.uni-marburg.de). This central domain provides all members of the Biology Department with access to the Windows clients maintained by the IT Service Team, as well as a central file repository.
The central file storage provides users with disk space in the following areas.
- Home directories (own files and directories, here only the respective user has access)
- Group directories (shared files and directories for use within a workgroup or project)
- temporary directories (important: temporary storage space that can be viewed by all users and without backup)
The central file storage offers the following advantages:
- Fail-safe due to hard disk RAID and use of redundant hardware
- Deduplication (identical data is physically stored only once)
- Snapshots (changes in the file system are saved every two hours and kept for a few days)
- Quoting (limitation of disk space)
- Possibility of flexible extension
- Access based enumeration (users only see files and directories they have access to)
On the PCs supported by the IT service team, the directories are integrated automatically. On manually installed computers, the directories must be integrated manually .
The home, group and temporary directories are accessed via the following paths, but can also be accessed from home home .

Unlocking a network junction box
In order to be able to connect a computer to the UMRnet via a network cable, the corresponding connection socket must be enabled by the HRZ. Already activated sockets are marked with a red dot (orange dot for Gigabit connection).
To have an additional socket activated, please send an e-mail to the IT service team of the department. This e-mail must contain the room number, the number of the network socket to be activated and the workgroup.
